Green is good, whether you’re talking about environmentally friendly rechargeable devices or the kind of green you can fold up and stick in your wallet. Best Buy is running an amazing deal on the first kind of green that will put a large stack of the second kind back in your pocket — this Greenworks Combo Kit of rechargeable yard tools that normally sells for $1,100 is just $600 in a spectacular Memorial Day Weekend sale.
This 3-piece combo covers most if not all of your yard-care needs, all in no-gas rechargeable form. The 80V 21-inch self-propelled lawn mower, 13-inch string trimmer, and 730 CFM leaf blower are high-performing machines that are better than their gas-powered counterparts in many ways. The Greenworks Combo Kit also comes with a 4 Ah battery and charger, and the battery is compatible with over 75 other Greenworks 80V products.
Green Can Be Mean
The initial skeptical take on electric mowers is that they don’t produce the same cutting power as the gas-powered versions, but that’s not the case with the Greenworks mower. A single battery charge will get you through half an acre of cutting, after which you can fully recharge the battery in just 60 minutes (perhaps while you enjoy an adult beverage for your hard work). The Greenworks mower is self-propelled, 2x quieter than gas mowers, and has SmartCut technology which motors the height and condition of your grass and delivers the correct amount of power to the blades to get it done, even if the grass is wet or thick.
The Greenworks mower also has powerful LED headlights, and a 4-in-1 system that mulches, bags, side discharges clippings, and has a turbo setting for picking up leaves. It starts with a simple push of a button, so there’s no backbreaking pull-start action required. It’s definitely not a weaker sibling compared to the gas-powered mowers.
The Fine Details
The lightweight Greenworks string trimmer is also more powerful than the gas models and has high-low settings so you can decide if you need more cutting power to get through tougher weeds or longer battery life. The 0.80-inch line is controlled with a simple bump-feed motion and is easy refilled.
The leaf blower is more than a match no matter how many trees you have. It delivers up to 730 CFM of constant airflow and can max out at 170 mph, which is the equivalent of a 26cc gas-powered blower, except far more quiet, lighter, and easier to use.
This Greenworks Combo Kit of 3 high-end yard machines and the battery and recharger needed to keep them going normally sells for $1,100, but Best Buy is celebrating Memorial Day Weekend by knocking a crazy $500 from the price, bringing it down to just $600.
